Good News!

Well I have finally won the bid for reelection! It was such a long battle, and I am glad it is over, but it was a great run! Thanks to all those who supported me and kept me going!

Storms And Insurance Caps

There have recently been an alarming number of storms in this area, and a vast amount of destruction following those storms. Now it has come to the Senate’s attention that there are very high, and still rising, insurance rates. A bill has been recently put on a floor to put a cap in insurance rates as to protect citizens, but there are some senators against it because they think a cap will force the federal government to pay large amounts of money in order to bail out the insurance companies. I voted in favor of this bill though, I do not think that it will cause extreme hardship to the federal government, and I think that it really would be beneficial to the general public. It would not be fair to those that were so greatly punished by the storm, to be punished again. It seems to also be very helpful to the campaign, as I have new supporters that were not fully with me before. All in all, it’s looking hopeful!

Skeletons In The Closet

It has been brought to my attention that certain journalists have made some discoveries about my past. It is true that when I was younger I did find ways around drafting, and I was an active student protester, but that does not really seem to be influential on what is happening. I do hope, though, that my interview the other day was beneficial to me and the race. It seems to not have made a positive or negative impact on the campaign in any form yet, but I suppose we will just have to wait to see the affect it has. I will say, though, that everyone on my staff already knew about this, and we have a plan to tackle it if bad publicity and still persists.

School Assessment Reform

Recently, there was a bill to reform schooling and assessments. The elderly as a whole seem to be against the reform, while the teachers are for it, saying that they wish to begin the reform of statewide testing, and maybe even eliminate them altogether. This seemed to be a good move, in the race for candidacy. The elderly seem to be more educated on the movement now and are all for it, where they weren’t before. Now, with almost everyone on board, and some great publicity to go along with it, winning the bid for candidacy seems to not be too far off now!

Illegal Immigrants Bill

I chose so vote no on the bill for severe consequences against illegal immigrants and those who hire illegal immigrants. I felt that if a bill such as this passed, there would be massive hardships for many farming communities, and a large majority of people in my state and others. I realized the risk I was taking when I voted the bill down, it had many supporters, but it seems that those supporters have quieted down some now that I have placed my vote.
